Talent Testimonials

Being an independent designer, my symbiotic relationship with Artisan has put me on multidisciplinary teams from a variety of industries, resulting not only in successful projects, but lasting friendships. Working with Artisan is like working with family. Being friends with designers, illustrators, copywriters, and art directors is to know Artisan. Artisan helped me to get and complete the high-profile projects that enabled me to broaden my portfolio. Artisan makes their clients look good, and allows their talent to shine.
Daniel, Web Designer/Art Director

Artisan has been managing my freelance life with pure class and an excellent work ethic. They make sure the companies they refer me to are a perfect match and make sure I know about the companies before I commit to anything. It is a pleasure working with such professionals and I hope we continue this great relationship for many years to come. If I had to compare Artisan to other talent agencies out there, I would say, "What comparison?" Artisan stands out in a league of their own.

Artisan makes freelance life both appealing and hassle-free. While I was freelancing, everyone at Artisan was so kind and helpful, the projects were fun, and the time sheet/payment procedures were much easier than anything I would have had to do myself. They always tried to find work that suited my personality and lifestyle, and diligently stayed in touch with me to be sure I was comfortable during each job (and were also kind enough to check on me during a couple of dry stretches). When my current employer began considering me for a full-time position, Artisan was always available to help with advice and feedback as we navigated the interview and negotiation processes. In my experience, Artisan genuinely cares about its clients and its talent, and is always looking for the best fit for both.
Ronda, Copywriter

I’ve lived in several cities, and have worked with recruiters and talent placement agencies in all of them. I can speak from experience: it’s rare to receive the kind of attention I get from Artisan. My initial perception was that they’re a very friendly and personable group of people. And I didn’t get the sense that I was on an “assembly line.” It was clear that I was a priority, and that they would ensure that everything was discussed and all my questions were answered. Some staffing firms are good at putting on a showy song and dance up front…but the proof is in the pudding. Artisan is awesome about returning calls and emails – they contact me frequently about job opportunities, and will always take the time to talk with me and answer my rather verbose emails (I am a writer, after all). It’s obvious that I’m more than just a resume in a database with Artisan - and that's invaluable.
Steve, Senior Copywriter

Artisan’s staff impresses me the most: they hustle to find work for you! It was only a few days between my introductory interview and my first job interview with a client. The staff are also circumspect in preparing you for your next career move: they respond to your career goals, seek to find out what you're comfortable with in an employer, and help you with everything from selecting portfolio pieces to proofreading and editing your resume. Artisan is like your own personal employment team!
Jay, Art Director

Artisan is hands down the best staffing agency for designers that I have worked with! I am so impressed with the plethora of knowledge Artisan has provided for me in my field regarding annual salary, dress attire, company information, and general feedback. They are great people to work with, and they always have a positive attitude. Not only that, they respond to my questions in a timely manner, with solid information. I have worked with several other staffing agencies and NONE of them compare to the performance and quality of Artisan!
